Counting Crows

Been a long week as usual. Thinking back, I can't really remember what my previous book in was like. The past week in camp had alot of ATEC Stage 1 Prep going on. That amounts to alot of rushing here and there to get things done and to train up the section. Good thing is, I think they are well prepared.
Despite that, I did manage to find quite a due of free time to study Technical Analysis at night. Finally, NS life isn't totally about NS. I never wanted it that way. It restricts the meaning of time. I want to spend my time meaningfully and while NS is meaniful, I want my time with other things as well. Studying and reading Straits Times have become my new SOP for the days. Monday morning was probably the best I had. Was up at around 7+ with nothing to do and so I decided to twang in bunk. Tilted the tv towards my bed to watch CNA. All that I lacked was a cup of hot tea with me. Gotta replace the mug that I broke sometime back.
On Wed, we were out in TP4 for stage 1 prep. Cheemeng my SC suggested we go pick durians and pluck rambutans. So, 32A went around the entired TP4, stopping under rambutan trees that were flaming with riped fruits. We plucked like a hundred of them? and then went on to durians which was a greater favourite amongst us. Dismounted some 4 times at various locations and collected around 20 of them. large and small, they were great. Premium quality and much tastier then those up for sales in the marketplace. Probably due to the fact that they grew on natural fertilizers in the wild. Wild Durians. They were fantastic. trust me to that. So I returned to camp with a vehicle of fruits and had to gather additional help to carry them back to bunk. Haha.
Throughout the week, Pang and me have been desperately wanting to visit Wala Wala at holland Village for a good chill out night. Much to our dismay...well pang's greater disma...it never materialised. Instead on the 4 nights out I had last week, I watched Initial D and War of the Worlds. Sort of made a word to visit Foster with Juan. eh...when I free ba. Always free on the days when few are free...buts its still fun.
Friday saw a half day of for the NDP dudes. So I made my way out of camp and headed for home before I departed for the banks shortly after. Did some major restructuring to my saving accounts and did some investment in forex. It was already 430 when I got home and I had a dinner aranged at 7. So, poor me had no opportunity to watch my downloaded movies!! But all went well. Because...

I finally found time to go to town!! Yeah!!!.....................for 2 hours....

Spent less than a hour shopping but I found my Wolverine Origins graphic novel carefully hidden behind some other comics. Went to shop at wisma where I was suppossed to meet Juan. Flash and splash got me fired up for some clothing shopping so I kinda decided skip dinner. Haha. After dinner at Pizza tanglio, I realised how uncle me have a bad habit of spending money like tis coming out of a photo-copier. Spent around 90 that night? Thats excluding the 60 bucks that I now owe Pang for the summer one. Haha. Gonna wear that for exotic sunday morning sentosa trips. yeah yeah...

In fact, I still got a lot on my to buy list. But considering that I am gonna spend on liquor next month cos shuqi is coming back, maybe I should cut down a tad on my expenditure. Hope she remembers the southern comfort.

Came back at 8am today after 2 sleepless nights at kallang and jurong camp respectively. It was all movie marathon for me, watching sin city after cruel intentions. Adding to the ultimate relaxing experience is the chivas and rum mix which I had seperately. Oh...and did I not mention about that hair cut that I just had. Gosh, its definitely worth a revisit. The lady is great. That includes her haircut. Haha.
